  we often come across jehovah's witnesses near station entrances and at our front doors, but we never hear about what happens when they leave.

  if you're near london, uk, faith to faithless are doing their first ever event at kings college london, and their first ex jw panel!.

  Nisan 14 When?

  by diamondblue1974 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as i understood it jws celebrate (i use the term 'celebrate' loosely) the memorial of christs death on nisan 14. this year nisan 14 fell on monday 25th march 2013 and not tuesday 26th march 2013 (which was the day of their memorial).

  all of my jewish friends were celebrating their passover meal on monday 25th - is this another one of those moments where the borg has it right and the whole of the jewish population of the uk (including learned rabbi) has it wrong?

  what is the rationale behind them being a day late?

  just to let everyone on here who knows my dad, that he is seriously ill, and unfortunately on life support.

  he has renal and respiratory failure as a result of the quickest onset of pneumonia i have ever seen... it came on in the early hours of this morning.

  he is waiting for an intensive care bed but the nearest one is 200 miles away.

  today (29th august 2008) at 5.22pm baby meadow arrived weighing 6lb 7oz; she was born at home in a birthing pool without any medical interventions other than gas and air; both mother and baby are well (although dawn is well and truly exhausted from a 12 hour birthing).

  i am immensely proud of them both.

  today my world was made complete!.

  How did you handle facing the reality of death?

  by song19 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those raised or who got the truth at a young age, how have you been able to handle the reality that you are in fact, eventually, going to die in this system?.

  for me, this was a real hard reality check.

  as a witness, my entire life i was convinced that i would see armageddon, that i wouldnt grow old and die.

  Is being searched by your employer EVERY day legal?

  by Gill in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am in the middle of induction training for a new job at a local store that is one of the uk's largest hardware stores.. today we were told it was company policy that every staff member is searched everyday before they leave the shop.

  you cannot, under any circumstances leave the store until you have been searched both your bag and person and sometimes you car also searched.. your handbag has to be emptied and searched, your pockets have to be emptied and you have to take off whatever clothes you are told to take off including shoes, roll up your shirt above waist level if you are a woman and loosen the waist band of your trousers.. if i am right, even the police are not permitted to search anyone without due cause and i already feel 'violated' at the thought that i will have to go through this humiliation everyday.

  this shop basically sells toiletries, garden stuff etc and insist that half of their theft if from staff.. however, we were also told that shoplifters cannot be stopped unless they have been followed all round the store and their is 100% knowledge that they have stolen something as a stop and search would get the store into terrible trouble.. so, am i correct in thinking that these people are going to violate my human rights every day!.
